 CHICAGO, August IS-There IS no branch of trade n Chicago to-day that is in more hourishing con dltion than canned Rodds. It became evideut over a month ago that packs" of certain kinds of fruits, as cherries, straw berries and entrants. would probably be lightly held in very few plsces east of the Mississippi river. having exceeded the ordinary demand for fresh fruit, berry after berry disappointed growers until at last hopes were confined in this part of the couptry to the grape, peach snd apple crop. Now it is known or at least generally supposed that these hopes gre also to be disappointed. East has had sn abundance of rain, but IL IS an oil year for apples in many sections and the yield is too small and of poor quality. Grape and peach growing states Of the west and south have suffered from drouth, which has ruined the prospects ot these fruits, and eastern crops are not much more than enough to supply the home demand. It is not surprisinr therefore that dealers in canned fruits are both active and cautious They are suddenly called to face the situation which was entirely unexpected two months ago, then they were bending their energies to endesvour to enlarge their trade, now they are overwhelmed and dsled by business condensed into the orders of month. A salesman on the rosd does good years business or diusrily if he takes iobbers for one hun dred snd fifty thousand dollars of goods, but the last month has been like the millennium to them. Each has come home in triumph st his success ln work sng up business and prepared for com nIimen,s on the Sl00.000 he has tel- sgr.phed to his firm. But chagrin and discomfort await him. His firm has ran- sacked the country and hss sent over to the Atlantic and Pacific Slopes, but they cannot find fruit enough to nll half hls orders. The consumer has helped to az Oraysts the situation. Oannedl fruits have been SO cheap in late years that many housewives resolved st the begin ming of the season not to put up fruit.
